Assassin's Creed Origins eGuide Activities Tombs and Ancient Mechanisms

Tomb of Khufu

Territory: Giza

Silica Available: 12

Treasures: 3

Ancient Mechanism: Tomb of Khufu

Silica Required for Mechanism: 5

Segment: 3

Access the Tomb of Khufu through an opening on the north side of the Great Pyramid at Giza; watch out for the cackle of hyenas that hang just outside. Follow the path straight until it splits. Left leads to the Ancient Tablet, while the narrow slit takes you to the Ancient Mechanism. Go left first.

Follow the trail up and around the right turn until you reach a small opening with ramps on either side. Crawl through the middle tunnel to find a hidden chamber. Grab the Silica and treasure before returning to the split.

Next, run up the walkway on either side of the corridor and duck through another small tunnel. Grab the Silica that sits in the far corner before passing through the crack in the right wall.

In the treasure room, destroy the two seals on the back wall, causing the center portion to lower. Climb into the opening above and run forward to find the Ancient Tablet, along with two treasures and a Silica.

Interact with the tablet before crawling out the back exit. Climb up the side wall in the next room, where you can exit, but before doing so, slide through a narrow opening ahead to find another Silica.

Use the footholds and beams to climb the wall and shimmy to the right to reach the upper level. Follow the long corridor as it makes a right turn. Eventually, after vaulting and sliding, you reach the south side of the pyramid.

Ancient Mechanism: Tomb of Khufu

To access the ancient mechanism in this tomb, you must first assassinate the Hyena during the main quest line. Return to the start of the tomb and squeeze through the crack that you passed up earlier. Descend the corridors until you reach a chamber with a hole in the floor. Drop inside and run right until you reach a big cavern. Hop down the big pillars to reach the floor.

Explore the perimeter of the area to find eight Silica and then activate the Ancient Mechanism. You can pass through a crack in the far-west wall or use the nearby teleporter to exit the tomb.
